Find the equation of a line which makes an angle of tan – 1 (3) with the x–axis and cuts off an intercept of 4 units on the negative direction of y–axis.



Answer -

Given:

The equation whichmakes an angle of tan – 1(3) with the x–axis and cuts off anintercept of 4 units on the negative direction of y–axis

By using the formula,

The equation of theline is y = mx + c

Here,angle θ = tan – 1(3)

So, tan θ = 3

The slope of the lineis, m = 3

And, Intercept in thenegative direction of y–axis is (0, -4)

The required equationof the line is y = mx + c

Now, substitute thevalues, we get

y = 3x – 4

The equation of theline is y = 3x – 4.
